The government crisis which began on 20 August in Italy has put an end to the innovative experience of the ‘Executive of Change,’ which has challenged the traditional constitutional conventions regarding the relationship between state powers, as well as the fundamental values on which the Italian Republican Constitution grounds the legal system. The article analyses the reasons for the crisis and, moreover, the impact it has had on the role and prerogatives of the President of the Republic, the Prime Minster and the Parliament, contextualizing it in the general framework of the evolution of the Italian parliamentary form of government.
